HAWKING - Books On Tape

Hailing from Vancouver, 4-piece HAWKING have been entertaining crowds for the last few years with their combination of indie-rock and math-pop. They've got a new E.P coming out next month, and taken from it is the great "Books On Tape". The song calls to mind Two Door Cinema Club, albeit with a harsher edge to it and a more technical approach to their guitar lines. And unless my ears are deceiving me, it has one of the strangest opening couplet of any song released this year.

"Books On Tape" is taken from the band's self-titled E.P, which will be released on July 14th.

About The Captain

So what can I tell you about myself? I am from Belfast. I enjoy writing about new music, which keeps me afloat. The Guardian once profiled this blog. I'm old enough to have experienced the Walkman without being retro, but not old enough to have used MySpace whilst it was still cool. I was nominated for the Sony Radio Golden Headphones Award in 2013. Caramacs and Battenberg are life affirming, and the moment some bright spark combines the two my life will be complete.
